摘要： A control console for a powered surgical tool. The console includes a transformer that supplies the drive signal to the surgical tool. A linear amplifier with active resistors selectively ties the ends of the transformer primary winding between ground and the open circuit state. Feedback voltages from the transformer windings regulate the resistances of the active resistors.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method and a device for controlling an ultrasound tool unit for machining a workpiece on a machine tool. For this, a plurality of parameter sets are stored on a storage device of a control device of the machine tool. When controlling an ultrasound transducer of the ultrasound tool unit received on a work spindle of the machine tool on the basis of a sensor signal input into a controller by means of a generator operated by the controller, on the basis of a first parameter set, which is associated with the ultrasound tool unit and sets the operation of the controller, an operating setting of the controller is switched by changing the first parameter set setting the operation of the controller on the basis of a second parameter set, which is associated with the ultrasound tool unit, of the plurality of parameter sets stored on the storage device.

摘要： An ultrasonic transducer device comprises a controller and a differential piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducer with a membrane later, a bottom electrode layer, a piezoelectric layer, and a top electrode layer comprising a first electrode with a positive voltage to displacement coefficient and a second electrode with a negative voltage to displacement coefficient. During a first period, the controller electrically decouples a first output of a first driver from the first electrode, electrically decouples a second output of a second driver from the second electrode, and electrically couples the first and second electrodes to equalize charge between them. During a second period, the controller electrically decouples the first and second electrodes, electrically couples the first output with the first electrode, and electrically couples the second output with the second electrode; where waveforms on the first and second outputs during the second time period are out of phase with one another.

摘要： Ultrasound transducer element arrays using acoustic ensonification drive patterns via a patient interface for sonosensitizer activation in sonodynamic therapy. Incoherent acoustic field generation varying phase, frequencies, and/or amplitude via controlled delivery of low intensity planar acoustic waves. Method includes generating a first and a second signal to generate respective acoustic ensonification drive patterns with phase, frequency, and amplitude and generating at least one relative phase, frequency or amplitude difference to generate a third incoherent acoustic ensonification pattern to activate a sonosensitizer. Calibration and complementary therapy procedures to improve cell susceptibility of cells to sonodynamic therapy are disclosed.
